Origin of the name Luna

The name Luna comes from the Latin language. In Latin, Lūna means Moon. This was the name of the ancient Roman lunar goddess, daughter of Latona, who later began to be identified either with Diana or with Juno. And then they were completely revered as a trinity of goddesses: the Moon, Hecate and Diana, who was depicted in the form of a three-faced statue of the goddess Hecate.

The word “luna” then passed into Italian and Spanish, giving the world this unique feminine name. In Latin American countries, Luna and Deluna are also common surnames.

The name has been gaining popularity lately. The fashion for rare and unusual, but euphonious names has prompted some celebrities to name their daughters this name (Uma Thurman, Penelope Cruz, Til Schweiger). The name became known to everyone and gained fame. Now it is included in the ranking of the most desirable female names around the world.

But common features include: charming femininity and seductiveness, subtle aesthetic taste and musicality, unpredictability and eccentricity.

The behavior of the Moon, as a phase of the lunar body, can be diametrically opposite: sometimes calm, quiet and thoughtful, sometimes rushing around, swearing, stubborn. Her parents will have to accept her as she is. But if the family eventually gets used to this behavior, then it will cause problems and misunderstandings at school and in society.

He can easily manage a business and build a career. But creative flight, the search for oneself and means of self-expression are also familiar to her. Lunas are very talented. Their gift is related to the visual, musical or literary arts.
